Toward Duty

She narrowed her eyes just a little at the suggestion that she would somehow mourn Tokinada’s death.

“I think you overestimate the relationship Tokinada and I had. But I assure you, I’m very much glad that he’s dead.” She noted tersely.

Of course, when that blade swung up it dragged through the air, slowing down several inches before it could get close to her neck, lagging behind his intended speed as that black obsidian raced up her shoulder and wrapped around her neck, further encasing her in that black glass as she eyed the blade as it stopped short o that protective casing.

“Tokinada was not involved in my making. The Tsunayashiro have been collecting and keeping track of humans with what you call fullbring potential for ages. Tokinada was simply a bit more....extreme in how he operated. With his most recent stunt, he killed almost all of the elders in the family, and slaughtered a hefty number of the upper members of the Clan. He wasn’t exactly next in line to succeed as head of the family, so he went through a lot of trouble to put himself in that position. His actions, and his blatant disregard for any secrecy, decency, or adherence to the integrity of the worlds, has put the Tsunayashiro family in a sorry, shameful position. ”

She smiled.

“The only thing that I ever owed that man, was him revealing to me that I was, originally, a human, stolen from the world of the living. A fact he revealed to me primarily to make me suffer. I’d tried in the past to get rid of him, so really, I aught to thank you for your hand in taking him down. Which, in fact, is half of why I’m here.”

The compliment did bring a brief smile to her face as she did feel rather validated in her skills. the results of kinda being forced to practice for about four hundred years. But all the same. She moved into the building, a bit surprised when she felt his hand on the middle of her back, tensing just a little when she was reminded that she didn’t have her noble cape on, and the hand met bare skin. Rightrightright. 

Once they were inside, she closed the door, sealing it shut by fusing the edges of the door with the surrounding wall before she turned her attention back to Ginjo. 

“Well you’re in luck. Tokinada was confirmed dead, and he’s been buried. We made very sure of it. And in correcting your previous statement, actually Tokinada and I grew up together. The Tsunayashir family was harvesting humans well before he popped up. He just uh.....decided to ramp things up.” She murmured softly, and then opened her hand, black flesh rippling into existence as her hand warped into sleek, black volcanic glass, forming claws before spreading all the way up to her shoulder, enveloping her body in that sharp material. 

“You may wanna take a seat. This is....going to be a bit of a long explanation, even summarizing.”

@skyvar​

She was.... still a little confused about that word. But all the same, she saw those....shifts of expression on the man’s face. And she wasn’t too surprised at it. 

“As I said, I’d prefer we spoke inside. It’s a bit of a headache to keep this up.” She pointed out, slipping her hands into her pockets as she took a moment to consider his words. 

“There is.... a lot to talk about. I’m sorry to say. If this is a bad time, I can come back another time.” She spoke softly, understandingly. She knew that it wasn’t a happy subject. For him, or any human that usually got involved with the Tsunayashiro. So she knew better than to try and push things to happen this very moment.

She went silent for just a moment at that. “I’m a little surprised you’re having trouble getting some. You could probably easily earn some. Just what are you doing these days?” She murmured. 

Of course, simultaneous to this line of questioning, she reaches into her hakama and tosses him a granola bar. A confection from the world of the living she had grown rather fond of. She had a bout a dozen on her at any given moment. 

“And I’m a little surprised that you’ve been active enough that your body is wanting to regain spirit energy by eating. You haven’t been causing trouble have you?”

@skyvar​

She paused for just a moment at that, brows knitting together for just a moment as her brain briefly snared on something he said, and felt her neck get a little hot as she grew a bit frustrated. “A.....Quickie?” she murmured, struggling for a moment as she failed to understand. “Quickey? Like.....A quick conversation? Well.....no I think it might be just beyond the realm of quick engagement...” She murmured, trying to logic her way around the term.  

She paused for a moment. Thinking. Before she opened her palm, and a light green light crackled out, the air around them growing....dense. Suddenly the sounds outside of that little bubble winked out, until it was completely silent. Ensuring that nothing either of them said would leave that little sphere. Fullbring. 

“I’d like to talk to you about a certain recently-deceased man you may have known. Toklinada.” She clarified. “And about the human lives that he stole.”

@dokvhana​

“If you say so.” She murmured, peering a bit incredulously at the Fifth Division officer. 

“The next time you see Captain Hirako, please  let him know I’d like to speak with him. If you don’t mind that is.”

@skyvar​ from Here.

Nida had opted to stick to her more casual outfit even abstaining from wearing the mark that signified her position as the Head of the Tsunayashiro clan. She was all too aware of the man’s relationship, brief as it were, with her Noble Predecessor. 

“My name’s Noriko, and I’d like to have a word with you. Why don’t we head inside?” She suggested. After all, she’d rather not go having this conversation out in the open. 

@dokvhana​

Brows lift just a little. 

“Is that so? Well so long as you have your work done for the day, I suppose that sounds fine. I’m surprised you’re not a bit more busy with how....eager to delegate, Captain Hirako is.” She murmured thoughtfully. 

When the other shinigami know way more about world of the living holidays. 

Ah, suppose it’s awake time.
